The Total Eclipse of April 8, 2024

Another total solar eclipse is coming to North America! This time, totality will also pass over Mexico and Canada – giving people all over North America another chance to experience this great celestial event.

In order to see totality, you have to be in the path of totality. If you aren’t in that path, you’ll only see a partial eclipse. You can learn more about those details with our simple eclipse viewing instructions guide.

This blog post will tell you about the 2024 eclipse as seen from Vermont. Please check out all the links we’ve provided below to learn more about the 2024 total solar eclipse from other locations.

The Total Eclipse of April 8, 2024 in Vermont

The northern third of Vermont lies squarely in the path of totality, and will be a great place to watch the eclipse from – weather permitting! It is very important you know where the path is, to help you plan your eclipse-day viewing. The map shows you all you need to know, but we’ll give a few highlights below.

Where can I see the total eclipse?

The path travels from west to east through the state, with a slight northeasterly tilt. Most of the roads in the path are north-south. This means you really have to watch the weather and plan which locations you’re going to prioritize, because it’ll be very tough to get from one to the other on eclipse day!

The centerline passes through the very far northern part of the state, so you’ll maximize your totality time by being as far north as you can be. In Richford or St. Albans, you’d see about three and a half minutes of totality.

From there, the farther south you go the less totality you see. Burlington gets 3m14s, while Montpelier is down to a minute and a half. Middlebury lies just on the southern edge, and will see a bit less than a minute of totality. Best to be as far north as you can get, if you’re there on eclipse day!

Anywhere in the region, road conditions need to be kept firmly in mind this time of year, and you’ll need to use your knowledge of the local area to determine the safest routes for you to get north into the path.


What will I see on eclipse day?

Please note that the locations of Brattleboro, Rutland and Bradford are not in the path! You will need to be north of these places on eclipse day to see totality. People who are in towns like these will see a deep partial eclipse, with sky darkening and possibly some interesting edge effects. But there will be no corona, no totality, and no dramatic moments on eclipse day. You’ll need to use your eclipse glasses for the entire event, where just up the road folks are enjoying totality. It’s true that “close” just isn’t close enough when it comes to totality!

It’s certainly true that any type of eclipse is an exciting event, but we’d like to encourage you to make it into the path if at all possible on eclipse day. What you’ll see there (vs. back home outside the path) will be literally the difference between night and day!

Check out our blog posts for Boston, Barre, New Hampshire and Plattsburgh to get more info on viewing details for those areas.

Order eclipse glasses! If the Sun is not COMPLETELY eclipsed you MUST always use ISO-certified eye protection ("eclipse glasses") to watch the eclipse.That means that, even if these things are going on around you, if you’re not in the path you won’t be able to see most of them. It will be best for you to get as far north and west as possible, to make sure you’re in the path and will be able to see totality.

Order eclipse glasses!

When will the eclipse happen?


Eclipse day is April 8, 2024
Eclipse day is April 8, 2024!

Whatever the eclipse brings to the area, it will be most interesting as the shadow passes by – in the northern part of the state, remember.

This will happen a few minutes before 3:30pm EDT.

The eclipse happens at different times in different locations. Use the slider on the map above to show you when totality will happen as the eclipse passes through Vermont.

Use ISO-certified eye protection during the partial phases

ISO Certification

ISO Certification Always remember the rule for using eye protection during an eclipse: If there’s ANY bright part of the Sun showing, then you have to use your eclipse glasses to watch the event.

The Eclipse2024.org Eclipse Simulator That means if you can see anything at all of the Sun through the glasses, then the Sun is too bright and you have to leave the glasses on! If you can see absolutely NO piece of the Sun through the eclipse glasses, then it’s safe to take them off. But the second any bright part of the Sun becomes visible again, you have to put them back on – and this can be mere seconds after you took them off. It would be so much better for you to get into the path, and really enjoy seeing totality!
